SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to design a sucker rod load reducing device to eliminate the influence of the casing pressure on the load reducing effect and reduce the load borne by the sucker rod above the installation position.

[0006] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: When used in conjunction with a hollow oil pump, the inlet pressure of the hollow oil pump is almost zero during operation. The upper end face of the lower hollow piston is connected to the inlet of the hollow oil pump, eliminating the influence of casing pressure on its load reduction effect. Even when the casing pressure is high and the casing is diluted to reduce viscosity, a large upward thrust can be generated at the installation point of this invention, reducing the load on the sucker rod above this invention. It can be used in conjunction with the dilution and viscosity reduction process on the casing pump to extract heavy oil. Attached Figure Description

[0007] Figure 1 This is an assembly diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. Implementation

[0008] The following is combined with Figure 1 Embodiments of the present invention will be described.

[0009] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention includes an upper hollow piston rod 2, an upper pump cylinder 3, a reducing pump cylinder connector 4, a reducing piston flow divider 5, a lower hollow piston 6, a lower pump cylinder 7, and a hollow connecting rod 8. The pump diameter of the upper pump cylinder 3 is smaller than that of the lower pump cylinder 7. The upper pump cylinder 3, the reducing pump cylinder connector 4, and the lower pump cylinder 7 are connected sequentially. The lower part of the upper hollow piston rod 2 is connected to the upper thread of the reducing piston connector 5, the lower thread of the reducing piston connector 5 is connected to the upper part of the hollow connecting rod 8, and the upper part of the lower hollow piston 6 is connected to the middle thread of the reducing piston connector 5. A flow channel 6-1 is formed between the inner wall of the lower hollow piston 6 and the outer wall of the hollow connecting rod 8 due to the diameter difference. The upper hollow piston rod 2 is inserted into the upper pump cylinder 3, and the lower hollow piston 6 is located in the lower pump cylinder 7. The flow channel 6-1 between the inner wall of the upper hollow piston rod 2 and the inner wall of the lower pump cylinder 7 is formed by the diameter difference between the two components. The diameter difference forms a breathing chamber 7-1. The upper part of the upper hollow piston rod 2 has a sucker rod connector 1. The upper hollow piston rod 2 is sealed with the upper pump barrel 3. The lower hollow piston 6 is sealed with the lower pump barrel 7. The reducing piston connector 5 has a side groove 5-1 and a vertical channel 5-3. A blind hole 5-2 is drilled upward on the lower end face of the reducing piston connector 5. The upper part of the blind hole 5-2 communicates with the side groove 5-1, so that the inner hole of the hollow connecting rod 8 is connected to the breathing chamber 7-1. The upper part of the flow channel 6-1 is connected to the lower end of the vertical channel 5-3. The upper end of the vertical channel 5-3 is connected to the center hole of the upper hollow piston rod 2. The sucker rod connector 1 has a connecting groove 1-1. The connecting groove 1-1 connects the center hole of the upper hollow piston rod 2 to the outside.

[0010] The application is installed in the middle area of the oil pumping pipe column and is used in cooperation with the hollow oil pumping pump.

[0011] The communication groove 1-1, the central hole of the upper hollow piston rod 2, the vertical flow channel 5-3 and the flow passage 6-1 are liquid outlet channels, and well fluid is discharged from the communication groove 1-1 to the wellhead after being pressurized by the hollow oil pumping pump.

[0012] When the thickened oil well implements the dilution process, the diluted thin oil fills the casing, and a large liquid column pressure is formed in the casing. For the application, the liquid column pressure formed by the diluted thin oil in the casing does not act on the upper end surface of the lower hollow piston 6, and the pressure of the upper end surface of the lower hollow piston 6 is still substantially zero. Therefore, the application does not affect the load reduction effect when the casing is diluted and the thickened oil is pumped.

[0013] When the application and the hollow oil pumping pump are both installed in the middle area of the oil pumping pipe column, the upper end surface of the lower hollow piston 6 is communicated with the inlet of the hollow oil pumping pump through the central tube of the hollow oil pumping pump, so that the lost circulation liquid generated between the upper pump cylinder 3 and the upper hollow piston rod 2 and between the lower hollow piston 6 and the lower pump cylinder 7 flows back to the inlet of the hollow oil pumping pump and is recovered by the hollow oil pumping pump. Therefore, the application eliminates the disadvantage of the existing oil pumping rod load reduction device that the yield is lost, and can improve the yield of the oil well.

[0014] The structure of the hollow oil pumping pump is as disclosed in the electric heating thickened oil pumping pump in SY / T 7083-2016, and the structure of the hollow oil pumping pump has various types, and the hollow oil pumping pump with a full bore or a non-full bore and having a central channel and a circulating oil pumping channel can be used in cooperation with the application.

[0015] The cooperation sealing between the piston (rod) and the pump cylinder refers to the requirement specified in the GB / T 17607 standard. The pump diameter refers to the inner diameter of the pump cylinder of the oil pumping pump.
